In case anyone's interested:  Apple will license the Appletalk source
code to just about anyone for $5000 (call Software Licensing at
408-996-1010 for more information).  I imagine this is too expensive
a solution for Mr. West's problem, but Sun could easily afford it.  But
then it seems like Sun should be capable of implementing their own,
given Inside Appletalk.

Isn't the Apple Filing Protocol (or whatever it's called) almost done
now?  Perhaps it would be better to put that on the Sun, if possible,
since I imagine Apple is already working on //x and PC support for it.
